There are two main ways in which your event can work.
1.) The first is the "pre-order" method.
- Your invitees would give you their shoe size when the RSVP to the event.
- About a two weeks before the event you submit a request for these sizes and we will send you all the sandals. That way, the sandals are there for the event for people to pick up, try on, compare tying methods, and wear home!
- There is no financial commitment on your end. That means, if someone pre-orders a size 8 sandal but ends up not coming to the party or chooses not to purchase, you can simply send them back.
- You will take payment at the party when people pick up their shoes.
- You will then send the payment for any sold sandals, along with any unsold sandals back to us within 7 days. (We ask that you send checks and write a check for any cash received. You can either get a money order for cash received at the event, or simply deposit the cash into your personal account and write us a check for that amount. We just want to avoid sending cash through the mail!)
- And voila! A successful event!
2.) The second method is to take orders and payment together at the party.
- For this method, you will place an order for a "sample kit" at least two weeks before your event. We recommend at the very least to order one or two of every size and an assortment of straps for people to try on.
- At the event, you will use these sandals to take orders, as well as sell on the spot.
- You will then submit your order (people who still need sandals) using this form.
- Once we receive your order and the payment for both sandals sold and ordered, we will ship those sandals to you to distribute. It usually takes between 1-2 weeks from the time we receive the order and payment to receive the sandals.
- And voila! Another successful event!
For either method we will take your credit card information with your initial order, but as long as you get the unsold sandals and payment for sold sandals back to us within 30 days from your event, you won't be charged anything.
